Thank you for your videos. I have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and am having surgery on Dec. 13th or I would be at your show. I don't want to leave this world without letting you know how much your videos have meant to me. I get to work every saturday early to drink my coffee and watch your video. The feelings are a kin to me as an 8 year old getting up early to eat my cereal and watch Saturday morning cartoons. As a veteran of 8 years at Radio Shack in the 80's building Heath Kits, your content speaks to me. Not to mention your beauty, the magic, and comedy. Thank you for making me a very happy viewer.
I was born in ‘69. My first computer was the trs-80 coco v1 that came with 4k. I thought I was somebody when I wrote a BASIC program that ran it out of memory lol. I used to use the cassette player output to trigger stuff. One time I modded an rc car (one of those cheap single channel ones that only make the motor reverse) and swapped the motor out with a relay connected to a 9v battery and some nichrome wire connected to a pack of firecrackers and wrote a BASIC program that sent a MOTOR ON command at midnight that lit a pack of firecrackers in my front yard on New Year’s Eve 😆
That's cool. I built an animatronic creature, that I never skinned, and it was just the mechanics, but I used my Coco for it. I used both the relay switch for the cassette and those potentiometer joysticks to know positions of the motors.
@ oh yeah the proportional joysticks! I forgot about that. I got into Atari computers after and I pulled the board out of the coco, stuck the “audio spectrum analyzer”cartridge in it connected it to my stereo and hung it on the wall… no toy survived my bedroom 😂
Most interesting video in a long time ! Edutainment, for sure. Also points out what many guys still refuse to understand: Chicks can do stuff ! Thank you !
Dadgum, I could have been using a Picaxe for some of my Arduino projects! By the way, I was born in 1970 and my first computer was a TI-99/4A with a tape drive and Speech Synthesizer. I programmed the Heck out of that thing, and saving/restoring programs off the tape deck took about fifteen minutes. Good times!

What a heartfelt message. I wish you all the best.
Thank you very much Steve. I'm sorry to hear about your status, I hope the best for you. You're a very nice person.
If you mix some Baking Soda
With Achohal you can make your own spray Kicker

@ dang were both on the same plane if we were neighbors who knows what might have happened! 😂 now we’re too oldies collecting and restoring old crap!

Thank you. I have some more ideas like this that I will do.

I love Picaxe chips, I made a solar panel controller for my hot water system with one.
They are easy to program in BASIC
That's cool.
I wonder how does the programing work. Man I would have wanted to go to at least one of those shows, they look like fun but I live to far away
You mean getting it to the chip. It's a serial data transfer I know that. The chips have serial data transfer that you can use too.
very interesting electroonics
the PicAxe is such a wonderful MC. ,. the 08M-2 is my fave as its small. for so So many projects just a few IO is needed and this fits the bill ....
Exactly!
🤘
Very fun !
impressive :]
Thank you.
Great video, and excellent new translations. Spanish is not perfect, but overall it is very good. Only the voice must be feminine.
That's not me doing it. That's youtube.
Would be surprised if baking soda didn't corrode metal.
It can. I'm not a huge fan of it, but sometimes it doesn't matter.
I don't get new Math why did they change math😅😅😅😅
